New RTL-This Tutorial

So I managed to write a simple tutorial that consists of three parts about how to RTL a simple webpage:

  1. RTLing a Hello World WebPage: http://rtl-this.com/tutorial/rtling-hello-world-webpage
  2. Getting to Know the HTML/CSS: http://rtl-this.com/tutorial/rtling-hello-world-webpage-getting-know-htmlcss
  3. RTLing: http://rtl-this.com/tutorial/rtling-hello-world-webpage-rtling

I hope it’s useful to someone 🙂

I received links and feedback from several readers about the RTL of the Web. I didn’t expect to get that help 🙂 that was very kind, sweet and simply amazing. Thank you so much I’ll publish them all soon.

One more thing: if you’re a web designer and have the time and will to design a (free) blog template so it can be flipped in a tutorial and be available to be downloaded let me know so we can work work on something together.

RTL This..finally!

I finally managed to do it 🙂 There is an actual blog called RTL This now and guess what..I used Drupal this time 😀

I added some explanation posts(okay just 1 or 2 🙂 ) and the tutorials are coming soon.

    Let me know what you think…I really hope someone would find it useful..

    RTL This

    It has always bothered me the very limited collection of RTL(right-to-left) blog templates/themes..whether it’s for Blogger, WordPress or Drupal or any other Blogging platform or CMS. Web Designers and Developers might not find a problem since they can flip it themselves in couple of hours depending on the design itself.

    The other part of Arab Bloggers (the majority) do not have the enough skills to do such tasks. So we end up with:

    1. A very limited number of RTL themes that we see everywhere (especially Blogger)
    2. And the many many LTR (left-to-right) themes that simply don’t look nice with the Arabic content (although usually they’re very beautifull themes)

    The ideal solution I want? Is to convince all of the web designers and developers of the world to include an RTL version of their themes! 😀 We have to wait for that a really long time..

    So what can we do? communicate! We can share our ideas and skills to help enriching this poor space of the web. There are really beautifull themes out there and they will look even more beautifull if they fit well with our Arabic content.

    I will start hopefully before the end of this year to share my own tips and tricks on how to deal with the RTL side of the web. I’m not a guru, and I’m not a pro, but I want to share what I know and learn what you know. I have thought of naming this learning experience “RTL This”. What do you think? I’d love to know your opinion..
